The Pen is Mightier: Writing a Revolution Exhibition comes to Brigham City!

Brigham City Museum of Art and History

December 31, 2025

In celebration of the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Brigham City Museum of Art and History is proud to host “The Pen Is Mightier: Writing a Revolution,” a free traveling exhibition for visitors of all ages. This special event is on display at Brigham City Museum of Art and History from December 30, 2025 to February 21, 2026. 

The exhibition helps viewers explore the powerful tools of communication that sparked revolution and sustained the fight for independence. “The Pen Is Mightier” brings history to life through 20 curated panels, revealing how Revolutionary leaders harnessed printing presses, secret codes, and signals of sound, light, and music to inspire action and ignite lasting change.

“This exhibition is a powerful reminder that communication can turn ideas into action,” says Nicole Handy, executive director of America250 Utah. “The same can be said of our founders in their fight for democracy, which is what inspired this showcase of pivotal American moments — showing how messages became movements and sparked lasting change.” 

 Brigham City Museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00AM to 5:00PM and Saturday 1:00PM-5:00PM. For more information on viewing the exhibition, please call 435-226-1439 or go to museum.bcutah.gov.
